Chapter 273: Gu Zheng Would Be Sad Too

Qiao Xi had a puzzled expression. “Tell me what?”

Qin An remained silent: “…”

Had the man forgotten or was he deliberately not saying anything?

The Jiang family and Lu Xiang had long been close to bankruptcy because of him. Furthermore, after Lu Xiang married into the Jiang family, her life had not been easy. The Jiang family despised her identity as an illegitimate daughter.

After that, Lu Xiang grew old and frail. President Jiang liked young and beautiful women. He would even bring them home from time to time. Lu Xiang was in deep waters in the Jiang family.

Everyone else thought that she was living the life of a rich madam in the Jiang family, but who knew that she had suffered for half her life? However, this was all her retribution and had nothing to do with Gu Zheng.

However, there were some things that were indeed done by Gu Zheng.

Qin An slowly said, “Gu Zheng was the one who made Lu Xiang crash into the river.”

Little Six should know very well that Gu Zheng did not need anyone’s pity. He was a lion. He would not let off anyone who had hurt him in the past. Moreover, the Jiang family had already paid the price.

However, Qiao Xi was still puzzled. “Of course, I know, but I still feel bad for Gu Zheng. The Lu family keeps calling him an illegitimate child, but he’s the most innocent one. I really wish I could kill Lu Xiang to take revenge for Gu Zheng.”

Qin An: “…”

When did Little Six become so irritable?

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door. Qiao Xi hurriedly hung up and rushed out. “Gu Zheng!”

The man looked tired as he took off his jacket.

Qiao Xi asked, “You’re the one behind the incident of Lu Xiang falling into the river, right? Then why did you spare her life?”

Gu Zheng said nonchalantly, “She should have died. She got lucky.”

He was not surprised. There were many passersby in that district, so it was expected that she would survive.

“Let’s go, it’s time to go to work.”

Qiao Xi held his hand, her eyes filled with sorrow. “You have to say it if you’re sad. Don’t force yourself until you fall ill.”

Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple moved, and he felt an indescribable emotion surge in his heart.

Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with heartache. “Do you remember the time we got to know each other? I would tell you anything. It would be good if you also tell me how you feel. If you encounter any problems, you must tell me.”

“I…” He was just about to retort when he saw Qiao Xi’s eyes that were wet with tears. He swallowed his words.

Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. “At first, I was indeed sad.”

Qiao Xi’s heart ached.

Then, he curled his lips and sneered. “But I don’t care at all now. The Lu family is insignificant to me. Their words won’t hurt me.

“The Lu family that was once a wealthy family for a hundred years is on the verge of collapse now. As long as I move my finger, I can destroy the entire Lu family. Therefore, they’re just ants in my eyes. Would you care about ants jumping around in front of you?”

Gu Zheng had always been strong, but when he faced Qiao Xi, he could not help but want to show his weak side.

He looked exhausted. “I’ve always thought so, but…”
